I'll give the Heroes premiere a B+. In honor of that, let's lead off with TV Guide's interview with Cristine Rose, aka Mama Petrelli. Also, Zachary Quinto (Sylar) has some high-minded thoughts about the show's importance.

Stylus' series on Diamond records takes on Hootie and the Blowfish's Cracked Rear View. I bought one of those 16 million copies.

AV Club has an interview with Willem Dafoe.

EW wonders why the hip-hop community hasn't spoken up more loudly on the Jena 6 case and in the process delves into some other questions worth asking.

Maya Rudolph is not coming back to SNL, leaving the show with only two female cast members.

Canada has this new award called the Polaris Music Prize, and it went to some dude called Patrick Wilson over several well-known entrants.

Pitchfork's Poptimist has a look at an intriguing advertisement from across the pond.

Amazon's MP3 store is open for business.

Cracked, always good for a good list, lists the 10 most disastrous Saturday morning cartoon adaptations.

Slate chimes in on the ethics and etiquette of social networking sites.

Check out this promo for the 30 Rock premiere with Jerry Seinfeld:

And after the jump, enjoy a promo for the final season of The Wire, a "trailer" for Jay-Z's "Blue Magic" and Les Savy Fav's video for "The Equestrian," starring video contest winner "Bunny."
